-<http://www.nongnu.org/hurdextras/#procfs>
+Although there is no standard (POSIX or other) for the layout of the `/proc`
+pseudo-filesystem, it turned out a very useful facility in GNU/Linux and other
+systems, and many tools concerned with process management use it. (`ps`, `top`,
+`htop`, `gtop`, `killall`, `pkill`, ...)
+
+Instead of porting all these tools to use [[libps]] (Hurd's official method for
+accessing process information), they could be made to run out of the box, by
+implementing a Linux-compatible `/proc` filesystem for the Hurd.
+
+The goal is to implement all `/proc` functionality needed for the various process
+management tools to work. (On Linux, the `/proc` filesystem is used also for
+debugging purposes; but this is highly system-specific anyways, so there is
+probably no point in trying to duplicate this functionality as well...)
+
+*Status*: Madhusudan.C.S has implemented a new, fully functional [[procfs|madhusudancs]] for
+[[GSoC 2008|community/gsoc/2008]].
+
+# New Implementation by Jérémie Koenig
+
+In August 2010, Jérémie Koenig [published another, new
+version](http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2010-08/msg00165.html).
+This can be found in <http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/hurd/procfs.git/>,
+branch *jkoenig/master*.
- * [[`ps`|procps]]
- * [[`top`|top]]
- * [[`htop`|htop]]
- * `gtop`
- * [[`killall`|killall]]
- * `pkill`
- * ...
+Testing it is as simple as this:
+
+ $ git clone git://git.savannah.gnu.org/hurd/procfs.git
+ $ cd procfs/
+ $ git checkout jkoenig/master
+ $ make
+ $ settrans -ca proc procfs --compatible
+ $ ls -l proc/
+
+
+# Old Implementation from [[open_issues/HurdExtras]]
